Comparison of platforms compatible with Lemmy+Mastodon ? (Mbin, Piefed, FediLab, etc.) (lemy.lol)

Lemmy developers have said there are no near plans for allowing users to follow mastodon or other activityPub networks, so I'm considering another platform that can do this.

It looks like mbin, Piefed and FediLab have the ability to do this. Has anyone tried them and have a comparison?

I also heard it may be possible to do from just mastodon-like platforms. Anyone tried this?

PieFed dev here - if you want to follow Mastodon accounts, I recommend Mbin.

About 20% of the content in piefed.socal comes from Mastodon but it's through indirect means (a.gup.pe groups, mastodon users @mention-ing communities). Mastodon users can reply to PieFed posts and receive your replies to their comments.

Nice to see someone being kind to competition

Will piefed add ability to follow mastodon users in the future?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, I'd call it "medium priority", tho. In the sense that I personally am not itching to work on it but if someone else did I'd help them get started in the right direction and then leave them to it.
